Default Lowering spring help

I just go my springs in today. Eibach Sportline. When I install them will I have to buy the C/C plates? My tires are fairly new so how long would they last if I dont have the plates for like 2 weeks? And will the rears need to be adjusted.

i recently got the same springs and installed them about 2 weeks ago.i love the stance but i can already see the tires starting to change and it is getting bad. i would suggest it and save yourself from buying tires more frequently than you would like.

I would just order the C/C plates and wait to install the springs.

just wait the 2 weeks and get it all done at the same time, but 2 weeks won't kill the tires.

Your camber will be relatively bad with that drop. I believe it's around 2.5" up front? Although the plates would prob be the best way to go, when I got mine aligned the shop drilled out the mounting point of the strut to getthe camberback into specs... just an idea

I've had my sportlines on for about a month now and I haven't noticed any difference in my tires. The tires were only a day old when I did the install though.
